  • the costs are still rising and rising dipshit..companies are dropping coverage cause it's cheaper to pay the penalty than cover employees....and get it thru your thick bonehead that the public has rejected it out of hand..tuesday proved it..you pussies can cry all you want...and one more point..who was in control..who had the filibuster proof majority and still couldn't get it done? Dems ran as far away from Obama as they could....and now that sore loser has run out of the country.

  • too bad we didn't use august to fight them, and instead gotta killed.

  • Barak's Health Care Reformation... Would you believe in this gov's policy?? See my utube profile page to Learn just why Y0UR points of view counts !

  • A curious thing-- the House bill says it'll charge us $1,500/yr if we don't have insurance OR 5 years in Prison.

    The constitution strictly forbids such a type of "incentive". There is no incentive like it anywhere in our society. I think those who voted for this went against their own Oath. They were to uphold the constitution, not trample on it.

  • That is a lie by opposition of the bill. The house bill does NOT say that.

  • Canada now favors euthanasia

    Why not? It's all the rage with progressives. Everyone laughs off the slippery slope argument but when tied to government healthcare and suddenly having bureaucrats decide who gets care and who doesn' ,Great & powerful evil is here., read about the progressives. I beg you, please, do your homework on eugenics,in Canada, again the progressive movement, to help those people out who have no quality of life. just like the eugenics system did here in America in 1930s

  • I have. It's a load of bullshit.

    Also, let's say it's not. Do you honestly think if the US had a reason to invade Canada they'd hold back? Good god what is wrong with people.

  • A public option doesn't address frivolous malpractice lawsuits, which account for nearly half of the cost of healthcare.

    Nor does a public option make healthcare less expensive. Instead of paying through your employer, you'll just be paying through the government. In fact, the deadweight loss generated by taxes will actually make it more expensive to consumers and less profitable to producers, who will inevitably go bankrupt. There will be nothing optional about public care at that point.

  • yes a more than a little twisted.

  • Look at all the hateful comments flooding these videos alone! The sheer force of conservative idiocy is such that it steamrolls liberals, and later our country.

    Is it fine that insurance companies today squeeze money out of those who have had past ailments, even if they no longer are sick? Do their extensive ad campaigns help our economy at all?

    C'mon, dems! You know what's right! We must FIGHT!

  • I pay over $17thousand a year for the PUBLIC OPTION now!

    The CorporateCannibals plan to rip off every American before they die and put them into HealthDenial Slavery & Bankruptcy!

    Birth, Old Age, Sickness & Death-they Profit from our Pain!

    SINGLE PAYER OR WELL ALL DIE BROKE!

    Save over $3 trillion overseas & end the economic war on all Americans!

    Medicare for all-support House Resolution 676 that is shelved by these greedy gobblety GOoP & blue dog cannibals.

  • why not let the Government run the health care system? hey??

    they do such a wonderful job running everything else!!,....into the ground and into bankruptcy, YUK YUK

  • The thing is Americans should try it then if it doesn't work We will do as Americans always have done try something else until we reach a common goal

  • Republicans have already paid a political price for being weak on conservative issues.

    The sad truth of the election resulting in an Obama victory is the voters DID NOT

    Understand what they were voting for.

    Obama's vision of health care is frightening to any tax paying American.

    Why on earth would we as a nation undo years of hard work by tax paying Americans to provide for the few that have their hand out?

    SINGLE PAYER HEALTH INSURANCE is an insult to our way of life.

    All in favor? Not

  • Health care is NOT a right. Anything that involves you making somebody else do something is not a right.

  • Your right Cenk we have to go on the offensive. Obama has to use his "political capital" and speak to his base. All I remember when Bush whacked this country was that he only cared about his base. He didn't give a damn about the left because the lefties are the only one's that know what the hell is going on.

    We should take the blue dogs and let them know that they are with us or against us. If they want to rob the American people of what is just and right then they won't be voted in next term.

  • I love it when cenk starts goin crazy then says..

    "OK OK everybody calm down"

  • Americans keep pointing to Canada as the example of how universal healthcare will fuck you up.

    Two problems here:

    1) They grossly exaggerate the failings of the Canadian system

    2) They disregard every single other country on the planet that uses this system and how well it works for them

  • The Republicans don't have an alternative? Really? Try healthtransformation. net

    People like Newt Gingrich have been working hard for years putting forward creative...

  • I see. Now, Newt was Majority leader, with a Republican president, right? So, was he SAVING this plan? For when he's party was in the minorty, didn't have the Presidency, and he's a washed up has-been? Keeping his poweder dry?

    Nice plan...

  • ...market based solutions to the problems with health care. No one is saying we should do nothing. It's just that the media doesn't cover the efforts put forth by the GOP. Besides, Democrats like Obama have voted down every one of these measures to truly reform health care. Obama and his socialist ilk talk about "reform", when what they really want is complete gov't control. If he was really interested in reforming the current system, he would have worked with the Republicans in Congress...

  • ...when he had the chance to be the post-partisan he promised he would be during the campaign. But instead, he continues to push his leftist agenda and silence the critics who dare dissent against the regime. Wasn't it Hillary who said that dissent was the highest form of patriotism when the dissent was directed against Bush? Even if you agree with the idea of universal health care, you have to be intellectually honest and admit Obama is lying when he says we can keep our insurance...

  • It is the method to their madness that I object to as much as the ideology itself. Socialism and even communism are nothing new in America. This push towards socialist ideals has been going on for generations but these "progressives" like Hillary want us to think that they have found something new.

    "It's not that socialism inevitably leads to oppression. Socialism is oppression." - Daniel J. Flynn, from the book A Conservative History of the American Left.

  • TO THE DNC-YOUR LATEST AD ABOUT U.S AMERICA ARE BAD FOR VOCIS OUT FOR SOMETHING WE DO NOT WANT!IS THAT SO HARD TO understand! AND TO CALL ME A MOB IS SO WRONG,YOU GUYS ARE LIKE NAZI'S AND TO PUT OUT A VIDEO TO ASK AMERICA'S TO SPY ON EACH OTHER AND TELL ON EACHOTHER THE WORD IS OUT ON YOU PEOPLE YOU ARE WASHED UP put in on that list i'm a hardcore right-winger LOL LOL LOL what a joke u guys are

  • Hey, how did you like that election. Did you like it? What happened? Did Conservatives win?

  • No, we didn't win..but oh how sweet 11/2010 is looking.

  • It's not about WAR. It's about doing what's right for the American people. Your political bias is starting to really distort your narrative.

  • I'll tell you why you don't declare war, because you don't have a leg to stand on. If the democrats try anything besides being sneaky they'll be shown for what they're really trying to do with this bill.

  • yeah  Democrats with spines. i like it.

    Power to the people.

    (healthcare is a good thing, guys. Sha.)

  • what a bunch of foolishness. search this:

    Christopher Newsom

    did you even read any of the posts here?

  • It has nothing to do with Republicans. The entire goverment; Congress, Senate, the President himself are DEMOCRATS!!

    Every Republican can vote no but as long as every Democrat votes yes it will pass. Obama can't even control his own people let alone the country. You liberals are pathetic.

  • So based your current statement, you must not have any idea of the "blue dog" democrats.

  • How abouy just:

    The Democraps must go!!

  • The Young Turd...

    A complete brain-washed Obamanite...

    Does anyone really care what this former high school nerd has to say????

    The Young Turd is happy to have anyone listen to his slobbering Obama love songs.....

  • how about...fuck you?

  • There not turks and need to stop calling themselves that. There for the establishment

  • liberals live a sinful lifestyle like drug use and gay stuff. liberals have open sex policy so they catch stds and aids and they want all of us to pay for their stds. do you want to pay for a hooker to get rid of aids--- liberals will doom us all. lets let the sinful die out-- its call darwin's theory

  • did you fall into a time machine fifty years ago and end up in the present? Were you locked in a time capsule? How did you survive?

  • Dude, you are so outa touch and uninformed as to what is really goin'on! people with such a lack of commom sense and information need to ummm, well, get informed especially s-1 in your position, so in other words: G-E-T I-N-F-O-R-M-E-D!!

  • As if public plan wouldnt be costly look @ CBO numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Do you know any govt. program that doesnt run way over costs? due to corrupt politicians?

    FORCING THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD THERE OWN INSURANCE OR EMPLOYER PAYS THEIR PLAN ONTO A PUBLIC PLAN = UNAMERICAN!!!

    THIS ISNT NAZI GERMANY!!!

    NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY OF HELLCARE....

    ONLY HELPS THE CORPORATE ELITES @ TOP, WHO GET OUT OF OFFERING HEALTHCARE IN SALARY/COMPENSATION AND ONTO TAX PAYER!!

  • Forcing those whom can afford their own insurance or their employer pays there plan onto public plan = UNAMERICAN!

    THIS ISN'T NAZI GERMANY!

    SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IS FOR THE POOR ONLY AND DISABLED "medicaid" not for illegals or for Political Power to control a Society!!!

  • Forced Healthcare ***adding more people **** "even dead people from Acorn that voted for Obama to list).........................­yet lowering costs

    all out of my taxes so my employer""" the fat cat""" can drop me and dump me onto public plan

    where do i sign up?

    We have free healthcare medicaid clean up medicaid from "corrupution and youlll save 15 trillion in ten years"

    forcing the bill on those who have or employer pays onto public healthplan is unamerican! ***this isnt NAZI GERMANY**

  • The only ones that Benefit from that Nazi Forced Healthcare is the Corporations who will dump all their empoyees unto public plan and thus force the bill on the tax payer ..instead of offering insurance as part as salary compensation

    Dems = exploit & rally the poor at mid class & small biz expense as they drown them in a sea of taxes & regulations\

    to only support their corp lobbys in tax payer kickbacks while the poor get crumbs!

  • Question: 1. Where is the money first of all?

    Answer: Federal Reserve, War on Drugs, and War Terror, and buying to much foriegn oil.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • Cenk, the two Maine senators dont care about govemrent run healthcare. Theres no blacks in Maine!

    You see folks, this Socialized medicene bill is a nanny bill to take care of all the minorities that POUR into this nation on a daily basis.

  • have any of you leftist loons heard the saying "if it aint broke then dont fix it" we have the greatest health care in the world and thats a proven fact so you cant make it better you can only make it worse

  • how is it the best in the world? we are rated 36th in health care quality and yet we spend twice as much as the country in first.

    please explain why countries with universal health care seem to have a longer average life span compared to us?

  • Cause instead by the health care industeries running by the government, its run by the tax payers and the countries who have it is our Allies, and Cuba, and Canada

  • Cause we have all the gangs killing each other not to mention the highest murder rate in the world skewing this number. Healthcare won't fix murder.

  • you do know that life expectancy studies don't count homicide or accidents, right?

  • Wrong

  • what a well thought out and supported statement... no, but really, life expectancy studies do not count homocide and accidents.

  • Link please.

  • read the fucking bill

  • Whatt???

  • The health care we have now IS murdering people everyday! They play games with people's live everyday and you have no recourse! With health care reform with a Public Option, the big Insurance and Big Pharma will have to play fair or loose all their customers. They don't want to play fair, so they are pouring millions of dollars a day into pockets of Republicans to try and stop true health care reform. They put party & $ before the people and the country. Nothing new for the Greedy Old Perverts

  • Ok Loon put down you kool aid bong. What makes it fair that I have to pay for your healthcare? I have healthcare I have to pay for why can't you?

  • do you make over a million dollars a year? do you own a company that makes over $250,000 a year that does not provide health care to it's employees?

    if no then you are not going to be really paying shit for my health care.

  • Who is? Small business making a gross profit of 250K annually? No mater how rich someone is it is wrong to take more from them to provide you with healthcare. get your own health care

  • o yeah since rich people have been paying their taxes since the bush administration, right?

  • Get some morals dude. Earn you own fucking way.

  • yeah, so easy when even if i did have insurance, and i do BTW, they will try that damn hardest to drop my ass as soon as i need the money. Even with insurance you are not guaranteed to even be able to use it.

    With premiums rising 3 times faster than the average wage, how can a middle class man last much longer? far more than half of all bankruptcies are caused by health care costs and 60% of them had insurance.

    you get some morals, people die every day because of the current system.

  • thank god I live in Canada.

    where you don't have to pay 40 grand for your wife to give birth.

  • No...you would ship her ass down here....

  • Let see if Congress will accept the plan they're giving JOHN Q. PUBLIC???

    Oh yeah that's right, they're exempt, and don't want the public plan that eventually will become "single payer monstrosity deficit buster"

    ..ever known a Govt. program to run @ cost?? they always neeed more tax payer money (to pay 30,000 dollars for a bolt, wonder how much alergy shot will cost then???

    SAY NO TO GOVT. TAKEOVER OF YOUR HEALTHCARE (DONT LET THE MOST CORRUPT BODY HOLD YOUR HEALTHCARE OVER YOUR HEAD)

  • So I should trust a company who's sole purpose is to make money off me, by making the least in medical payments for my healthcare?

  • FEAR MONGER LOL Obama is a fear monger forcing crap down our throats telling lies!! I STAND FOR DEMOCRACY! where does Obama stand? This is America we have "free-healthcare already" medicaid-medicare for anyone who Qualifies

    Forcing those who HAVE AND can pay for their own onto a Public plan (that will destroy choice) is UnAMerican

    THIS ISNT NAZI GERMANY!

  • You don't have to participate in the public option. You have the choice of either private or public insurance. Noone is forcing anything on you.

  • Seems to me your side is dying? You have all the majorites YET they can't pass this AWFUL deficit BUSTING takeover of healthcare, because the People DON'T WANT IT, LOOK @ ANY OF THE POLLS!\

    Once Again:

    Socialized medicine ONLY benefits one group----------- The Corporations that get to dump the BILL on the tax payer!

    instead of offering healthcare in salary comepensation!

  • Fix Medicaid and Medicare to limit those to only Cathostophic care, AND stop the waste and fraud in the system...but NO, Lefties Dont listen to reason & logic

    They rather force those who can afford and have their own benefits through their employer, On Gestapo system to control ALL our lives!

    NO!

  • You're a fucking idiot, MisterRight4prez. A fearmongering, ignorant, backward fuck who is deliberating attempting to sabotage the only way for the American medical system to get better. It's ridiculous.

    In the end, you're a dying breed. The whole of the world has socialised healthcare, except communist China and the USA. And the USA has very high infant mortality rates. It's sickening to see that in a nation with the biggest economy.

  • As if Cost wouldn't rise in a Nationalized plan that KILLS competition??? Do we know any Govt. program that hasn't RUN overcost?

  • Once Again: the only one who benefits from A National Plan are the Largest Corporations whom now don't have to offer benefits in there salary compensation and forces the bill onto the middle class tax payer!

  • The people who benefit from a national plan are the people who can't currently afford medical care = everyone except the rich. The "largest corporations" include the insurance companies who make a hefty profit out of screwing people over. The current system is sick. It's not like the middle classes aren't being screwed now anyway, and if the national plan were instituted, they'd get free medical care out of it. It's win-win.

  • So against Corporations heh???

    Then maybee you should know this:

    SOCIALIZED MEDICINE "ONLY HELPS" ONE GROUP

    THOSE @ THE VERY TOP OF THE CORPORATE LADDER!

    BY:

    CORPORATIONS GETTING OUT OF OFFERING THIER WORKERS HEALTHCARE IN THEIR SA;LARY COMPENSATION PACKAGES as they SHOULD!, .....BY SPLITTING THE BILL W/ TAX PAYERS,

  • it isn't that WE are against Healthcare reform! we just believe those WHO can afford their own healthcare and those whom employers pay for it SHOULD'NT be FORCED onto SINGLE PAYER PLAN!

    Nationalized healthcare should be ONLY for the POOR !

  • If nationalised healthcare is only for the poor, then it won't work. How are poor people, who can't afford healthcare anyway, going to pay for themselves and others? It needs the involvement of all levels, and at a tiny cost to the individual. It works everywhere else in the world. Even Taiwan fucking has it.  And it works. People don't die, the infant mortality rate goes down significantly, minor illnesses don't have to bankrupt families. So can you stop being such a callous fucktard?

  • Number #1 - their isn't enough rich people to make the CBO numbers work so its an attack on middle class

    Number #2 - illegals shouldn't recieve health benefits at cost of tax payers & jobs

    illegals should recieve only cathostophic care and deported out

    Number #3- we already have socialized medine "medicare-medicaid and social security

  • 1: It isn't an attack on the middle class. The middle class will benefit by not having to pay for medical care when they need it - it's not only the really poor who are bankrupted by high HC costs. I know a lawyer in Westchester, NY, who was bankrupted by his wife's cancer.

    2: Illegal immigrants wouldn't receive free medical care. I don't know where you're getting the idea that they would.

    3. No, that's not socialised medicine, not in any reasonable definition of the term.

  • It is our right, and our duty, to throw off such Government,

  • "We The People" once again, we are called upon to rid ourselves of a government that has become unfit to be the rulers of a free people.

  • why not stop fighting and work to an agreement?

  • Because that would be sensible! :P

  • Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

  • The blue dog dems are pussies!!! The AMA must be paying them off.

  • How did Saskatchewan accomplish single-payer non-profit public medical insurance in 1940s ?

    Tommy Douglas and Mouseland.

    Check it out.

  • I said its going to rain and they lazy like you did nothing when they could have done something my great deluge and they were gone not worth saving anyway, no sooner had my ark made land the problem had not gone away and today am telling you all its going to go black do something or be gone not worth saving anyway.

  • Its not the republicans, the democrats have an advantage in both houses, and a president, they could pass whatever legislation they wanted, the problem is that some democrats like the blue dogs have come to their senses after reviewing this bill and have seen that its not going to save everyone this bundle of money that some think it will. thats also why the recent gallup and rasmusin polls show support for it is dwindling every week.

  • Those bluedog democrats are in the insurance industrys' pockets. They have already sold you out and joined the republicans.I hope your family has a a major health issue just so you can see how fast your insurance company dumps you. Mine canceled me and sent a rebate for my premiums, so now I am sueing them for my coverage, asshole

  • These Denocrates are the only hope of sanity left in this country. The other Democrates are way off the fucking deep end.

  • Take the attack to them, get it started asap.

    or it will be killed over time and a new issue/topic will arise and people will leave it for another day.

  • Why doesn't this fat pig get a regular job?

    does he suck cock at night?

  • The government is already deep into the healthcare system. They regulate it so much and pay huge amounts into medicare which eliminates competition. It is COMPETITION, NOT Goverment beaurocracy that causes prices to fall. The government regulates the type of plastics, the number of tests, just about anything they can think of. GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM!

  • Too bad the private health insurance market is not competitive. It is completely dominated by a handful of large companies. Please note that recently, even with reform on the table, Conn. Blue Cross just asked for a 32% hike in their rates. Also, try to google the following: "state health insurance percentage monopoly" and see what you come up with. To finish, that whole Reagan era "govt is the problem" catch phrase fear and smear tactic doesn't work with me.

  • I love the war drums!!!

    Everyone who wants health care reform you MUST email or bombard their office with letters & phone calls to the politicians who are trying to kill reform. Especially people who live in states with the Republican reps. 70 to 83 % of people want reform. I have already written some of these politicians basically stating how can you ignore these numbers? Either your with the american people or your against us on this issue & if you vote against us we'll vote against u

  • The only one trying to trick anyone is this video, making out like this is a fight between Dems and Repubs.

    The Dems have control and can pass anything at anytime they want, but thanks to some sane Dems, enough care more about passing the right thing rather than just anything to score political football points and media ratings excitement and drama.

  • Get the crap out of this bill!!!! Thank you fiscally conservative Democratic Blue Dog Coalition !!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

  • the blue dogs arn't helping, they are making it take longer to get anything done and the longer it takes the less effective the bill will be. health care doesnt want to be what we go cheap on, maybe the wars we fight should be cheaper, cheaper wars are shorter wars and shorter wars cause less death and destruction. besides, the pentagon and DOD cost waaayy more than health care and education

  • LESS effective??? Stop believing the crap they feed you!!! BD Dems are going over the bill to get the extra crap out. The Blue Dogs are dedicated to a core set of beliefs that transcend partisan politics, including a deep commitment to the financial stability and national security of the United States. Education is were Obama SHOULD have started, but instead he started with reversing Clintons welfare reform bill. NOT smart. He doesn't really care about you. THANK YOU BLUE DOGS!!!!!

  • Last time I remember democrats "going on attack" it was in defense of Fannie Mae CEO Frank Raines two years before the housing debacle, touting what a marvelous job he was doing...

  • Alright TYT Army time to gear up!

    *Joxman2k puts on "WAR What is it Good For"... Shit!! wrong song.... Puts on "Eye of the Tiger"*

    :P

  • I love the young turks. Best thing going.

  • You assume everyone is for health care reform. just as you are telling them you want public paid health care, we are telling them we don't.

  • according to a gallup poll 71% of americans want reform, that's good enough to push it until it's done.

  • what value to health insurance companies contribute to the economy? They don't 'add' anything, no knowledge, no products, no science. They just manage $ between patients and doctors and take a cut. Of course they are going to fight dirty and throw as much $ as needed at politicians to defend them, they shouldn't even exist!

  • do people like you ever get tired of lying? Republicans have had plans for reforming healthcare for years but have always been blocked by the Corruptocrats. Well go ahead and attack. We will fight back with the truth about this plan to shove us all into poor quality rationed healthcare. That is why we will win, becouse all the scumocrats can do is tell lies. We have the truth on our side.

  • Cenk has been excellent today

  • Fuck Health Care

    The truth is the war has bankrupted us

    Black Hole Son needs to sue for peace

  • Well, people still need to live.

  • Young Turd, Conservatives dont need to start attack ads BO coming out to talk to the country is enough people are starting to C the Emperors new clothes.

  • Wby should the Dems go on attack they have a fillibuster proof vote why not pass it now?

    I think this is great for healthcare reform as it will give us time to READ the bill and actually know what we are voting for?

  • YES !

  • They Dem party is divided and the reason being is Obama is to radical and many Democrats are not comfortable with this. Turns out their constituents don't like Obama's game plan. Imagine that ACORN doesnt yet control the houses.

    And yet this Democrat party first channel is trying to make this a Republican evil empire versus the Democrat federation. What a pathetic channel.

  • YES.

  • Amen, I was waiting for this.

    These bastards did in my state and filled in voter ballads and got busted and nothing was done.

    Looks like the feds want them bad..

    Looks like the party will be over for Community Organizations International AKA ACORN. I wonder who else this will bring down.

  • why bother, there's so many other countries with free health care it would be easier to just move.

  • If we give up, they win...

  • Sounds Great all of us democrats that want free health care should move to Sweden & leave the Republicans have their Republic & free Markets

  • No such thing as free health care pal. Someone will have to pay for it. Middle class hets fucked again!!

  • You obviously have NOT read any part of the bill. Or any of the amendments being offered.

  • No I have not but I don't think there is one Demacrate who has either but they are still voting for it.

  • it would be nice to know who are those democrat senators...

  • If they want to delay reform how about in the meantime they pass a bill to delay health insurance bills for everyone for the month of August huh? If you're suffering from medical bills, are you on vacation in August? Only if you're unemployed. What dirty trick. Damn politicians.

  • HARRY REID is a BIG PUSSY

  • The insurance industry is doing the same thing. They decide which pool of doctors you can go to. If you want more choice, you pay more. They health insurance industry decides whether you get treated or not. I don't see the difference here, except that the government option will be lot more better. Don't trust me. Just look at the recent interview of an ex-CIGNA Communications Executive where he clearly confessed that the health insurance companies have been lying to us all these years.

  • has anybody actually read the bill thats in the house? why and the hell would you want that??? there is a provision in the bill that reduces ways u would be able to get private insurance so youll go on the govt plan. theres a provision in the bill that also makes EVERYONE fund abortions whether u like it or not. theres also a provision that puts a board in charge of OUR health care. it will decide what treatment we'll get and so on. do u people actually want this?

  • 100 years ago there was no such thing as "health care". How does it suddenly become your right to take the work of a doctor and turn it into your right to enslave him to the state. You want to fine me because I don't want to toe your communist line. It's pure tyranny. That's all it's for. A form of enslavement.

  • Also 100 years ago women couldn't vote and black people couldn't use the same toilet as a white man. Then those darn commies got involved and gave them their "rights." Now people want to go to the doctor! Communism here we come!

  • I've had private insurance...and I've gone to VA for treatment.

    There is no comparison.

    No waiting.

    No arguing.

    The VA is far, far superior.

  • I agree, but sometimes it's frustrating to deal with.

  • The House That Jack Built This is the house that Jack built, y'all Remember this house! This was the land that he worked by hand The was the dream of an upright man This was the room that was filled with love This was a love that I was proud of This was a life of a love I planned Of a love and a life we loved Of the house that Jack built. Remember this house! I said, I want my upright man
  • Us Conservatives are ready, bring it on. We are dedicating our lives to have the idiots called Democrats removed from office by vote starting with the 2010 elections until they all are gone and indited for treason.

  • Please, first get rid of your idiots in your "Us Conservatives"  Thank you.

  • I'm starting to agree what Bill Maher has said, that the Democrats are becoming the new Republicans. Pretty much in the future its not about parties anymore, its either vote for the candidate that wanted one government bailout or the other candidate that wanted the next 3. The old Republicans meanwhile... might want to consider gun control. Shooting themselves in the foot (or face for bonus) is getting tiring.  Good riddance.

  • So in your world, the democrats are docile in the political arena? Wow that's nothing like the real world at all. Maybe in your world the health care reform also makes economic sense and Obama isn't failing.

    Open your eyes and step out of the cocoon. This reform is a mess. Obama knows that it's no good, that's why he's been rushing it.

  • Id like to know how they will continue to honor the benefits of retirees from the military who were promised health benefits for life, that gonna be even an issue for us, or are we gonna be forced to go the way of the others, if so, then thats a breach of contract

  • anybody in this country can go to the county free clinics.they are in every state.you wait all day and get poor treatment.this is what they are gonna bring ya.not john hopkins thats for the liars in washington

  • in reality thats probably what its gonna be anyway, Im just glad my kids are grown, I think Pediatricians are fixing to become extinct

  • SOCIAL SECURITY IS BROKE ,WHY CANT THEY FIX THAT FIRST,THEN MEDICADE,AFTER THAT MEDICARE ,they are all broke,as this program is from the start.the gov dont have a good record with my money

  • It's not why can they fix it but why do they want to. Two words my friend......

    POWER & CONTROL

    Medicare and Medicade don't offer it. A Goverment Insurance Plan does. Think about it.

  • I was thinking, if they can do this, then why dont they just make college tuition free, its just one absurdity vs. another...at least if we could all attend college, maybe we could become our own doctors... less hassle

  • I agree..... lets make everything "free" and have a 99% tax rate on everyone! That will solve the world's problems. I can feel that hope and change now!!

  • Someone should make a YouTube channel for the people who want healthcare, something for the people. Not a radio show, not a union, but just regular people who want healthcare and post videos. That's what I'd like to see.

  • If this doesn't happen it just shows they don't give a damn.

  • If the poor little Island of Cuba can have universal healthcare I think the worlds only superpower can too.

    It comes down to whether the US politicians care enough about fellow Americans to do it, for now the answer is no.

  • people from all over the world come to the US for medical treatment but i can't say i have seen americans flocking to cuba or anywhere else for treatments.also if socialized medicine is so great why are the very people that are forcing on us exempt from it in favor of a private plan.

  • quite alot of people from the UK go to places like switzerland, or norway because there private healthcare is loads cheaper with a higher standard, than the US. and the only reason we leave here for it, is because, for whatevere reason, the procedure is illegal here. Of course no one's flocking to cuba, because, cuba's a shit hole comparing shit system A with worse system B is a fallacy. Or if you prefer an exercise in false logic.

  • cheaper than the free HC in the UK.false logic?i think you have a false premise

  • well there are more qualified doctors and equipment here, that doesn't mean everyone can afford it. haven't you read about Americans going to other countries for medical treatment, and the reason is the cost, people need good medical treatment..also they have to afford it right.. if not what's the point of having it..

  • if they can not afford HC how can they afford the travel expences?and no i have not read that and neither have you.how ridiculous

  • this is so unbearable, I cant believe we are having this rammed down our throats already, my mother is old, shes petrified, guess theyll canc the war vets too... I swear if this happens, Im stocking up on bandaids big time... while theyre still on the market, geez...

  • Thnx to blue dog democrats, I think we won't get anything by the August recess. These conservatives will agian try to stop this health care reform or just pour more money into the health insurance companies. Don't get your hopes up people

  • HR 615 a resolution to make members of Congress who vote "yes" for government run health care put their money where their mouth is and take the same plan. Right now Congress is exempt from the plan they are proposing. If Congress has a stake in this reform then maybe they will think twice b4 ramming it through Congress. Right now millions of $ are flowing to Congress from insurance giants what do you think is going to happen?

  • Just an honest thought. USA govt spends more on healthcare than any other country. How can your country afford universal healthcare is something I don't understand.

  • BlueDog? More like Blew Dogs Democrats. If you stop them, you stop them. I'd call my senators but this is Texas. I think I'm gonna move to Minnesota or something.

  • Call these senators to get healthcare passed, these are the Dems dragging their feet: Ben Nelson 402 391-3411
